-_- indeed. Still, I'm early 20's and even I can see that driving on the motorway in mine is not the same as when I was 18 and first had one. When I upgrade my car it will be a long while until I have something as raw and purely fun based because I doubt I'll do it until I have a second car.
Is the MX5 the new Mondeo?

Forum needs a dedicated take the rip out Relentless thread
As a competitor to the MX5, what about the Barchetta? Sure its fwd but they're not bad cars, handle rather well and seem to be available pretty cheap?

LHD is never going to work in this country.

Dunno, how much of an impact does it actually make?
We have no trouble driving in countries with LHD

Every car park where you have to take a ticket on entry? Every single toll booth? Every drive-through? Nightmare to deal with those sorts of things.

Plus the ultimate one, overtaking a bus if you aint got someone with you to tell you its clear.

That's what passengers are for 
As a cheap, weekend drivers car how many times will you encounter them though?

I've thought about that, and if i end up with one i'm going to install a tiny cam in the wingmirror and send the signal to the dash nav display.
The rest of the hangups don't bother me, it's overtaking tractors..... on my way to work which would be the issue.

There's a very nice J-plate supercharged MX-5 for sale nearby that's in excellent condition and looks to be painted in that lovely M3 Laguna Seca blue. See it at the roadside every day and it seems to be a ready-made track toy. Can't quite make out the price but I think it's up for £1,750.
I'm resisting temptation to go have a serious look at it as my ST220 only gets off the drive a couple of times per week.
ST220+MX5=???

1750 seems a bit cheap for a decent supercharged mx5

I do like MX5s.
However, I went for a Triumph Spitfire instead because the insurance and tax were much cheaper.
When it comes to replacing my Corsa though, I have no idea what I will go for. Could well be a Mondeo!
Kind regards
